Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may
experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including ashing
lights or patterns that may appear in
video games. Even people who have no
history of seizures or epilepsy may have
an undiagnosed condition that can cause
these “photosensitive epileptic seizures”
while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of
symptoms, including lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching,
jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary
loss of awareness. Seizures may also
cause loss of consciousness or
convulsions that can lead to injury from
falling down or striking nearby
objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a
doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or
ask their children about the above
symptoms—children and teenagers are
more likely than adults to experience
these seizures. The risk of photosensitive
epileptic seizures may be reduced by
taking the following precautions:
Sit farther from the TV screen.
Use a smaller TV screen.
Play in a well-lit room.
Do not play when you are drowsy or
fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a
history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a
doctor before playing.
Musculoskeletal Disorders
Use of game controllers, keyboards, mice,
or other electronic input devices may be
linked to serious injuries or disorders.
When playing video games, as with many
activities, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms,
shoulders, neck, or other parts of your
body. However, if you experience
symptoms such as persistent or recurring
discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching,
tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or
stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE
WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A
QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even
if symptoms occur when you are not
playing a video game. Symptoms such as
these can be associated with painful and
sometimes permanently disabling injuries
or disorders of the nerves, muscles,
tendons, blood vessels, and other parts
of the body. These musculoskeletal
disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel
syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis,
vibration syndromes, and other
conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to
answer many questions about MSDs,
there is general agreement that many
factors may be linked to their occurrence,
including medical and physical
conditions, stress and how one copes
with it, overall health, and how a person
positions and uses their body during work
and other activities (including playing a
video game). Some studies suggest that
the amount of time a person performs an
activity may also be a factor.
Some guidelines that may help you work
and play more comfortably and possibly
reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD
can be found in the Healthy Gaming
Guide at www.xbox.com. These
guidelines address topics such as:
Positioning yourself to use
comfortable, not awkward, postures.
Keeping your hands, ngers, and other
body parts relaxed.
Taking breaks.
Developing a healthy lifestyle.
If you have questions about how your
own lifestyle, activities, or medical or
physical condition may be related to
MSDs, see a qualied health professional.
